Laying my head on my pillow last night reminded me that no bed is as comfortable as my bed at home. I was thinking literally, but, of course, this is figurative as well.
As part of the process of wrapping up, I have been asking the students where they would return to in England if the opportunity ever presented itself again. What places and experiences made an impression and made you want more? Plus, if you could come back with a loved one what would you especially want to show them? As I reflect on my time here and these questions, I would have to conclude that Edinburgh and Scotland need more time and exploration. There's a magic there. I would want to find that magic with my loved ones. But this is not an easy choice, for each place and type of experience has been interesting and worthy of more focus. All the reasons for traveling and getting out of yourself have occurred and now the process goes full circle. Home is sweeter and seeing my family tomorrow brings me to tears. Farewell.
